“Daniel is the absolute best and the only one I would trust to watch my girls. My husband and I felt so comfortable with him the moment we met him and our girls did as well. We’ve lost some of the pack members we have and he was very sensitive to that and made sure to take lots of pictures and keep the communication flowing and open. Extremely highly recommended and the only one I would use! He deserves more than five stars! And I’m very picky.”

About: I absolutely love animals and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I enjoy making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I also have experience administering insulin injections to cats, so I am comfortable providing extra care for pets with special medical needs. Having been retired for two years, I have the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your furry family members! I am happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pets’ needs whenever possible. I prefer going to the client’s home, as I feel it is a more comfortable setting for both me and your pet. For dog sitting, my home does not have a fenced-in yard, so I would need to keep them on a leash when outside. That being said, I am happy to host pets at my home for shorter periods of time if needed. My goal is to provide reliable, loving, and attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away!
“Hailey was great with our dogs and took excellent care of our home while we were away. She was responsible and attentive and kept me updated the whole time I was away. Would have her back to watch my pups anytime!”

About: I am always willing to help out in any way that I can, every dog deserves love and care, no matter your situation! I enjoy sending pictures of your baby and letting you know how everything is going how ever much you need! I am a college student working part-time on the weekends. I am available early mornings, evenings and nights, and have a break mid day during weekdays that I could be there for potty breaks! I currently do not care for pets at my home, I have a rabbit named Grayson who very much enjoys being the center of attention at home! I am always willing to stay the night and at your home, I will take as much time as needed to learn what I need to make your baby comfortable!
“We were really anxious about our first dog/house sitting gig, but Mack did a great job with our 3 needy and spoiled pups. We were gone for 5 nights. She sent many photos, and my pups loved her. We have 2 dogs that require medications, and she followed the instructions to the letter. Our house looked great when we got home, and my pups were excited to see us - but not overly so - which lets me know that they really enjoyed their time with her. I highly recommend her, and we will definitely use her again.”

“Isabella is really good with dogs. She did a great job! She kept my husband and I updated. Sent pics and texts. Very knowledgeable made me actually enjoy my trip knowing Tyson & Cooper were in good hand. House was in clean when we got home, she went ahead and made sure everything was good. Highly recommend. Thank you!”


About: I have experience caring for my family’s two beautiful Australian Shepherds, each with a personality completely their own! First, there’s Coco—also known as “Loco Coco.” She is incredibly sweet, very anxious, smart as hell, and somehow equally goofy. Caring for Coco has taught me the importance of patience, reassurance, and understanding that every dog experiences the world differently. Then there’s Ember. She’ll growl when you pet her… and then growl when you stop petting her! She can be misunderstood and a little moodier, but she is also incredibly loyal and loving in her own unique way. Ember has taught me to respect boundaries, understand body language, and recognize that affection doesn’t always look the same for every dog. Having experience with two very different temperaments has helped me become patient, understanding, and adaptable when caring for animals. I approach every pet as an individual and will take the time to learn what makes your furry family member feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, goofy, independent, cuddly, or a little misunderstood, I will provide care personalized to their individual wants and needs. Your pet deserves someone who will treat them with patience, understanding, confidence, and plenty of love—regardless of their personality! I currently work full-time as an Environmental Scientist with a flexible schedule due to the nature of my work. My position allows me to work remotely, in an office, and onsite at facilities, which gives me flexibility and makes me accommodating when it comes to scheduling pet and house sitting. I am also open to traveling and overnight stays! Because I can work remotely at times, I enjoy the opportunity to spend time in new places while also providing reliable care for your home and pets. I truly miss having furry friends of all shapes and sizes around, and I would love the opportunity to give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I am very accommodating and will always do my best to work with your schedule, your pets’ routines, and your individual needs. Your home is your safe space—your sanctuary after long days—and the last thing I would ever want is to disturb that peace of mind. I would treat your home and your pets with the same care, respect, and consideration that I would want for my own. This is your time to relax, travel, and enjoy your vacation or whatever may take you away from home. The last thing you should have to worry about is paying for a service while feeling uncomfortable or uneasy about leaving your beloved pets and home with someone you don’t know. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that your home is being respected and your pets are being cared for with genuine attention and compassion—so you can truly relax while you’re away.
“Lauren is amazing! She watched our 16 week old golden retriever puppy! She was able to stay on top of his high energy, feed him, and make sure he was goi g potty! She communicated with us really well! Highly recommend her☺️”

“Abi was very faithful in spending quality time with my older beagle. She shared photos, updates, and even gave me a summary of their time together. I would highly recommend Abi as a pet sitter! She was wonderful.”

About: Had pets my whole life. I walk all the time and know where to take them and have an SUV with enough room to fit them in. Have 2 children who adore all animals. I have a full time job, Tuesday through Saturday, but I’m usually home around 2-4 pm. I’m available every evening and can stop to let them out during the day because of my job flexibility. I love both ends of the spectrum. I love being active and taking dogs for walk/runs. I also love relaxing and cuddling with them and getting to know what their preferences. Will follow all strict diet rules and keep a very clean house to avoid unwanted eating restrictions.

The average cost of House Sitting in Swartzville is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $52 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Swartzville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Swartzville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Swartzville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
